Hypothetical Question about Deleting / Restoring forums

[Jabong82]

I have a hypothetical question maybe you tech savvy people could help me with.

Say I had a website with many forums. Then one day I had an angry moderator delete a forum, and I didn't notice it for a week for whatever reason.

Now I know I can restore the forum if I do a back-up from a week ago, but how would I do that without losing all the new threads/posts created in the week since the deletion?

I guess the question is, is there a way to restore a single forum without restoring the whole website?

Thanks in advance.

Not unless you know your way around mysql, no. You would need to look at the post, thread, and attachment table at least. I have seen users post in the Paid Services forum to get this done. I'm not sure if someone took on the job though.
